MAD Magazine Reveals the ‘Real Reasons' Batman and Superman Hate Each Other

While the trailers for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have given us a general idea of why the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel are butting heads, we won’t know the full context of their bout until the movie hits. In the meantime, the folks over at MAD Magazine have come up with a few possible reasons, and while we doubt the two heroes are throwing down over stinky guano or fake super-bulges, going over the list is still worth a few laughs.

We have your exclusive first look at the parody that will appear in Issue #538, which releases digitally February 12 and in print on February 23.
